      I'm pretty sure he's alright with being the protagonist of one of the best, if not the single best, moment in the show's history. And there have been many special moments so that's saying something. It wouldn't have been nowhere near as memorable had it been a valid attempt and from a comedian's point of view, that's more important. Maybe not at the moment but retrospectively, I'm sure he doesn't mind at all.

      How do I get to heaven? Will my good deeds be measured against my bad deeds? Do I need to be a good person to go to heaven? How do I know if I'm good enough?
      Well the bible says no man is good, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So how do we get to heaven? Answer: By believing on Jesus Christ who took the punishment for our sin on the cross. There are no amount of good works we can do to achieve salvation because salvation is a free gift of God. We need to humble ourselves, realize we are sinners and that we need a savior.
      John 3:16
      For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

    I think this one task perfectly sums up why Taskmaster is such a great show. The challenges are dumb but ingenious with room to find creative solutions or totally snooker yourself. The contestants get genuinely into it and really care which makes it compelling to watch. But what pushes it into genius level is the timing and editing of the footage.
    The audience reaction as they zoom in on Joe's foot absolutely demonstrates that.

    IDK I need to see another angle. Rules said "touch" they didn't say anything about part of a person extending beyond the red perimeter which would happen if someone leans their arm over to get an easier toss without actually touching the red. The part of the shoe which looks to be touching could have just barely been the part of the shoe which angles upward, meaning it broke the perimeter but may not have actually made contact.

    I thought the catch would be that he stomped trough the RED doormat from where he picked the potato up....

    Did they take into consideration that the front tip of move shoes does not make contact with the ground? Maybe his shoe just hovered above the red green
